Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi,

I am facing issues in accessing phpmyadmin as well as connecting to mysql, if i turn on Development mode in php.ini. I see following error if i try to access phpmyadmin."The mysql extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration. <a href="Documentation.html#faqmysql" target="documentation"><img class="icon" src="./themes/pmahomme/img/b_help.png" width="11" height="11" alt="Documentation" title="Documentation" /></a>". If i try connecting to mysql, it says mysql_connect function is missing.

mysql.dll and mysqli.dll both are uncommented in php.ini. In phpinfo i only see mysqlnd if devleopment mode is on.

I am using XAMP 1.7.7, and win 7 64bit.

Please let me know the solution, as i need to check for some errors in my website in development mode. I will be very thankful to you.

Regards,
Abbas

PHP in XAMPP comes with 2 php.ini files in the xampp\php folder one for production and the other for development.

Did you use the php.ini-development file renamed or did you make changes in the existing production php.ini file?

I did changes in C:\xampp\php->php.ini....

You need to check and then double check your changes as it would seem you may have made an error and not knowing what changes you made it will be hard for anyone here to help.

After editing the php.ini file you did restart Apache and MySQL?
